    Are you sure it's only that water? More likely that you're overwatering and it's in the compost so you're providing good growing environment. Shouldn't be harmful

    Looks like mould, cant be good. I agree with westwales most likely because of over watering and too warm. If you water it with 5% hydrogen peroxide should kill it all off.
